Grey items are salt, spices and anything under 30 g per jar: you usually have them at home, so they are not in the jar price. Sugar, vinegar and oil from 30 g are counted.

Method

1. Cut the eggplant¹ into 1.5 cm cubes, season with 3 g salt, leave for 15 minutes, and squeeze lightly. Cut the pepper into strips, slice the onion⁴ into half-moons, dice the tomatoes³ finely, and mince the garlic⁵.

2. Sterilize the 0.5 l jar and lid: steam the jar or heat it in the oven at 120 °C for 15 minutes, and boil the lid for 5 minutes.

3. Heat 40 ml oil in a saucepan, add the onion⁴ and pepper, and stew for 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes³ and stew for another 7 minutes.

4. Add the eggplant¹, the remaining 4 g salt, the sugar, and the black pepper. Cover and stew over low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5. Add the garlic⁵ and 15 ml vinegar, and heat through for 2 minutes.

6. Pack the hot salad tightly into the jar up to the rim, cover with the lid, and sterilize in a saucepan of hot water for 15 minutes from the moment it comes to a boil.

7. Seal the jar, turn it upside down, and wrap it until cool. Store in a dark, cool place for up to 12 months, and keep an opened jar in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
